John Gierach's Fly-fishing Library
Discover the answer to lifeâs most pressing problems through the joy of fly-fishing from master philosopher John Gierach, âthe dean of fly-fishingâ (Kirkus Reviews), who is âarguably the best fishing writer workingâ (The Wall Street Journal). Once again, John Gierach tells the world why the pastime of fly-fishing makes so much senseâexcept when it doesnât. In this âshrewd, perceptive, and wryly funnyâ (The Wall Street Journal) book, he recalls the joys of landing that trout heâs been watching for the last hourâand then losing an even fatter one a little later. Joy and frustration mix in Gierachâs latest appreciation of the fly-fishing life as he takes us from his home waters on the Front Range of the Rockies in Colorado to the fishing meccas all over North America. From fishing lodges in Alaska to memories of the local creek in the Midwest where he grew up, Gierach celebrates the indispensability of the natural world around us.
